Why have immigration and migrants become such central issues defining politics and deciding elections in Western countries? Why is the economics of immigration losing out to ideological and cultural fears of outsiders? Why is anti-immigrant sentiment also becoming salient in many parts of the Global South? Do read Professor Sreeram Chaulia’s lead column in Hindustan Times, where he tries to explain this key wedge issue dividing the Right and the Left around the world.

Tensions escalate in the Iran-Israel conflict as the US carries out a major strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
◾️ The Trump administration has bombed three key nuclear sites in Iran, calling the attack a ‘HISTORIC MOMENT’ for the US.
◾️ B-2 bombers carrying powerful 30,000-pound 'bunker-buster' bombs were used, designed to penetrate 18 meters of concrete or 61 meters of earth to destroy the fortified sites.
◾️ All three targeted sites, Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, had already been evacuated, with their enriched uranium stockpiles relocated, Iranian media reported.
◾️ Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Trump for taking action against Iran, declaring that this move will be remembered as a decisive step to curb the world’s most dangerous regime.
◾️ Iran swiftly condemned the attack, accusing the International Atomic Energy Agency of turning a blind eye and stressing that their nuclear program will continue unabated.
◾️ No signs of nuclear contamination have been detected in the wake of the strikes, according to Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization.
◾️ The Houthi rebel leader, Huzam al-Asad, condemned the strikes, threatening to escalate attacks on US ships in the Red Sea as a retaliation.

In light of a series of regime changes across South Asia, is India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy working? External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar says India’s strategy is to forge a culture of unity and a “collective interest” with neighbours, irrespective of their internal political developments.

India and China share a long, contested border shaped by history, geography, and deep mistrust. Yet despite repeated standoffs, both sides keep talking and making progress in restoring peace.
Here's a quick look at how the relationship has evolved:
◾️ 1962: China invaded Aksai Chin and NEFA (now Arunachal Pradesh). India lost territory. A unilateral Chinese ceasefire followed, but the border dispute remains.
◾️ 1975: Four Indian soldiers were killed in an ambush in Arunachal. It was the last time bullets were fired — and the start of the “no-guns” protocol.
◾️ 1987: India responded to Chinese posts in Sumdorong Chu with Operation Falcon. Troops were airlifted, war seemed close — but the standoff ended peacefully.
◾️ 2013–14: During Xi’s visit, Chinese troops entered Depsang and Chumar. Military talks defused the situation without violence.
◾️ 2017: At Doklam, India blocked China’s road-building near Bhutan. After 73 tense days, both sides stepped back following talks.
◾️ 2020: Galwan Valley saw brutal hand-to-hand fighting. 20 Indian and 4 Chinese soldiers died — the first border deaths since 1975.
◾️ Post-Galwan: Talks continued. 20+ Corps Commander meetings led to partial disengagement at key points along the LAC.
Despite the skirmishes, both sides have long worked to maintain backchannels, creating frameworks for regular dialogue, hotlines, and local-level flag meetings.
